It was no secret after the success Mississippi Valley State had under Sean Woods this past season, that he would be a hot coaching commodity in the offseason.
After leading the Delta Devils to a 21-13 record, Southwestern Athletic Conference championship and just a few minutes from the school’s first NCAA tournament win, Woods is leaving Mississippi Valley State for Morehead State.
Woods replaces Donnie Tyndall who took the same job at Southern Mississippi.
